I fully agree with you both. It's insufficient to raise our own families well. We lose to demographics that way. We need to bring back personal accountability, logical rigor and intellectual honesty in the general populace - sanity on elections and "the issues" will follow.
Most of the population comes up through the public school system. The NEA has a stranglehold there, and indoctrinates youth for a dozen years.
And when the kids leave the school building, media continues the assault.
Time for some UW within our own country. How do we counter an entrenched state-supported, union-run propaganda and indoctrination system? Teaching proper values at home does part of the job, but the school environment remains. Kids end up commuting between two different places with two different worldviews. They may choose one side (and become pariahs at the opposite location), or become herd-followers (conforming to the mass at each location) - which is really choosing one of the sides, in this case.

But there’s a big job to do, and a lot of it is in the public schools, because so many people have been taught the wrong things about America and about politics and about what’s important in life and how things are done in the American constitutional system. I think we’re going to have to rebuild from the grassroots up.”
